More or less. He wrote the thing as a tribute to a renaissance architect. The form of the piece is a concerto grosso, most commonly utilized during the Baroque period of music. Rhythmically it's sort of a stylized blend of 17th century baroque gestures, and contemporary minimalistic repeating gestures. Harmonically it's definitely closer to 18th century Classical era music. Sort of Neo-Baroque if you will.
idk if it’s because i’m like highly advanced. but this piece is so easy, coming from a concert master and having the first violin solo, this piece isn’t as hard as people are saying it is in the comments.
It's a piece very often played by youth orchestras and other youth ensembles, so for lot of young musicians this is like the first "real" piece they might play. I'm a trombonist and I see the same thing in the comment sections of recordings of Mozart's Tuba Mirum. When I think back to when I first started playing that piece in like, grade 10 it was a challenge lol. At twenty, with a year of a music degree done, I play it to warm up.
i can see the notes. i cant understand one single note. i have no idea what any of that means. what i DO understand is that is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that i have ever heard. thats all i needed to understand....
Often, you don't need to know any more than what your intuition tells you to appreciate it (as much as a non-musican could). You read left to right, each dot is a note, higher the dot higher the note, each section an instrument etc.
I always take the hardest part so my seat partner doesn't have to! I would feel so bad making someone else do something when I could just take it on for them
Lots of covers… Escala’s music video does it justice, there’s little percussion. Other covers either have overwhelming percussion or sections rearranged or removed. Escala album version and Bond both skip Ba and play Bb fewer timed the second go around. Bond skips Ca and Cd and Escala’s album version skips Cb. Both repeat Ce an extra time and A 2x extra. Bond’s is half tempo. Asturia just has extreme percussion.
